F1=r13GMem,F2=r22GMeMs
ΔF1=(−)r132GMemΔr1,ΔF2=(−)r222GMeMsΔr2
ΔF2ΔF1=r13mΔr1MsΔr2r23=(Msm)(r13r23)(Δr2Δr1)
Using Δr1=Δr2=2Rearth
m=8×1022kg
Ms=2×1030kg
r1=0.4×106km
r2=150×106km
We get ΔF2ΔF1=2.
Take the mean distance of the moon and the sun from the earth to be 0.4×106km and 150×106km, respectively. Their masses are 8×1022 kg and 2×1030 kg, respectively. The radius of the earth is 6400km. Let ΔF1 be the difference in the forces exerted by the moon at the nearest and farthest point on the earth, and ΔF2 be the difference in the forces exerted by the sun at the nearest and farthest points on the earth. Then, the number closest to ΔF2ΔF1 is,

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be $F_{1}$ when four particles having mass $M, 2 M, 3 M$ and $4 M$ are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure and it is $F_{2}$ when the positions of $3 M$ and $4 M$ are interchanged. The ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. 
A particle of mass 2 kg is projected vertically upward with a speed of 30 m/s. The maximum height reached by the particle is (g = 10 m/s²):
Two projectiles are projected with the same initial velocities at the $15^\circ$ and $30^\circ$ with respect to the horizontal. The ratio of their ranges is $1:x$. The value of $x$ is:
In an experiment the values of two spring constants were measured as $k_{1}=(10 \pm 0.2) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ and $k_{2}=(20 \pm 0.3) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$. If these springs are connected in parallel, then the percentage error in equivalent spring constant is :
The surface tension of a soap solution is $3.5 \times 10^{-2}$ N/m. The work required to increase the radius of a soap bubble from $1$ cm to $2$ cm is $\alpha \times 10^{-6}$ J. The value of $\alpha$ is _____. ($\pi = 22/7$)
